Amichai Segal Identifies Avigdor Lieberman as Main Obstacle to Gadi Eizenkot's Premiership

Political analyst Amichai Segal discussed on Channel 12 News the key political challenges facing Gadi Eizenkot in his bid to become Israel's prime minister. Segal emphasized that Eizenkot's main obstacle is not Benjamin Netanyahu but Avigdor Lieberman, the leader of the Israel Beiteinu party. He explained that if Lieberman secures significant political power, such as winning 10 Knesset seats, he would likely demand the prime minister position, arguing he is more experienced than Eizenkot.

Segal further clarified Eizenkot's recent comments about the size of political parties and their suitability for leadership. According to Segal, when Eizenkot criticized the idea of a prime minister leading a party with only ten seats, he was not referring to Naftali Bennett but rather to Lieberman. This analysis highlights the internal dynamics within the opposition bloc and the challenges Eizenkot faces in consolidating support against established figures like Lieberman and Netanyahu.
